support us

Welcome to the Operation Truth 2007 website.

We urge our people not to be seduced by promises of piecemeal funding, opportunities to raise individual profiles (media/self appointed community leaders) short term publicity, or opportunities to sing & dance in high profile places (including ships) as this will be seen as an endorsement of the local and national plans, which in short, are a psychological audacity.

Whether you are an individual or an organisation, here are just a few of the ways in which you can support our campaign and promote Truth 2007 resources:

1. Help promote Operation Truth 2007 and Truth 2007 events. This can be as simple as forwarding emails, downloading, printing and photocopying leaflets and flyers and distributing them at libraries, schools, bookshops, retail outlets etc

2. Get in touch with us and organise your own Operation Truth 2007 event where you live. We can provide you with a resource pack including literature giving information and advice on how to organise events for your own local community. Anyone that organises events under the Operation Truth 2007 banner is free to use the Operation Truth logo and Truth logo on any promotional material (flyers, websites, leaflets etc) to show solidarity and support for this community led initiative. Please email us at campaign@operationtruth2007.co.uk for further information.

3. Form or join a Coalition in your area. Contact us at campaign@operationtruth2007.co.uk or visit the Coalition page to find out the contacts for the coalition in your area.

4. Download our template letter and send it to your employers and trade union branch requesting that they support your special leave on 23rd August or thereabouts to attend an official Afrikan Remembrance Day ceremony.’

5. Download our template letter and write to your local schools head teacher instructing them to exclude your child from lessons focusing primarily on abolitionists such as William Wilberforce until they balance their curriculum by highlighting the primary role of African freedom fighters involved in resisting the Maafa.

6. Boycott any government endorsed 2007 bicentenary celebrations and only support commemorative events that are linked to the Truth 2007 initiative.

7. Sign our online (confidential) petition – limited details required and will not published online
